^Andrew Jackson Kemp, Jr.  The newspaper clipping reads "Men Who Have Succeeded".
 
AJK II was born on July 15, 1847 in Cummin County, GA to Andrew Jackson Kemp I and his (other) wife, Arrina Edwards (b.  March 1, 1826 in Greenville, SC   d. August 25, 1907 in Snow Hill, Collins County, TX).
 
AJK I died on September 27, 1949 in Snow Hill, Collins County, TX.  He married Sarah Elizabeth Tallant. 
 
This second family of Andrew Jackson Kemp I makes all of these descendants half cousins of ours, since my husband descends from AJK I. and his other wife, Faith Melissa Killingsworth.

Family stories tell that my husband's grandparents, Arthur Steele and Gladys Mae Dunhausen Kemp, were Baptist.  They had 6 sons, and they were raised Baptist, but assumed the religion of the families they married into.  This explains why some of my husband's cousins are Catholic, and some are Mormon.
